Our Partners
Our esteemed partners, dedicated funders, and generous donors play a crucial role in supporting our mission and helping us make a positive impact in the community.
The Mulokot Foundation was found in April 2018
by the Paramount Chief of the Wayana community, Ipomadi Pelenapin. The goals of the foundation are to bring sustainable development to the Wayana community by capacity building, developing management skills, managing projects in the community, providing training, and advocacy. The foundation is the legal and the executive branch of the village leaders. We advise and coordinate projects and plans for the development of the Wayana communities. The foundation coordinates the collaboration with the government and with NGOs, and also maintains a network of specialists in and outside Suriname.

Discover and learn more about Community
Over the last several decades, external organisations such as NGOs and governments have, with mixed results, sought to engage with the Wayana peoples. From the perspective of the Wayana, a frequent hurdle in these engagements has been the inability of external actors to understand and respect their traditional laws and values.

Learn more about Mulokot Foundation
The Mulokot Foundation aims to promote sustainable development in the Wayana community through capacity building, management skills development, community project execution, training provision, and advocacy. The foundation operates in all nine Wayana villages: Kawemhakan, Apetina, Lensidede, Kumakhapan, Palumeu, Tutu Kampu, Akani Kampu, Halala Kampu, and High Five Kampu.
VISION
Mulokot will do everything in its power to improve the life of the Wayana Indigenous people, in the south of Suriname (and possibly in French Guiana and Brazil). This will be done from an Indigenous perspective. Integrity, Honesty and solidarity act as the basis of our treatment of each other as well as our communities and our partners.
MISSION
We are an organization of, for and by Wayana Indigenous people from Suriname, who want to achieve the development goals (based on the SDGs) in collaboration with our traditional authority. We only execute and participate in projects that bring actual development to the Wayana communities/areas. We work with everyone as long as there is equality and a good partnership. It is also very important to us that our Wayana FPIC protocols are respected.
Community Development
The foundation, led by village leaders, coordinates projects for Wayana community development in collaboration with the government, NGOs, and specialists. The board, selected by the Chief and village leaders, is solely composed of Wayana members.
We are registered with the Chamber of Commerce in Suriname (KKF number 36436) and acknowledged by the United Nations as an Indigenous Community Based Organization since 2019.

Wayan Consultation Protocol
Over the last several decades, external organisations such as NGOs and governments have, with mixed results, sought to engage with the Wayana peoples. From the perspective of the Wayana, a frequent hurdle in these engagements has been the inability of external actors to understand and respect their traditional laws and values.
Supported by our partners at Cultural Survival and their Keepers of the Earth Fund, the Mulokot Foundation drafted the so-called ‘Wayana Consultation Protocol’, incorporating those elements that the Wayana deem essential in a successful and respectful cooperation. The protocol emphasizes the need for a “Free, Prior, and Informed Consent”-approach, as recognized in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
